Have you ever considered that this may be because it's still not entirely socially acceptable to be gay? Some people who are too ashamed or scared to come out of the closet are sometimes so desperate that they resort to paedophilia. For example, how many priests have been found not only to be gay, but to be paedophiles? It's sickening... but to say homosexuality directly results in paedophilia is homophobic and incorrect, and if people would just freaking accept homosexuality those statistics wouldn't be so high.
Gay people have morals too and society needs to leave those stereotypes behind. If homosexuality is alone directly responsible for paedophilia, why aren't lesbians attached to that stereotype? It's because there is more than just one factor which results in paedophilia, and these factors occur both within and outside the contexts of sexuality.
Nah, fail.

Gays don't rape children because being gay isn't socially acceptable. Being gay is socially acceptable enough that we have television shows based on gay characters, high profile people coming out of the closet, etc etc.

I really don't understand how you equate fear of persecution for being gay with turning to paedophilia. I would think fear of being branded a paedophile is 1000x worse than being gay.

Any gays wanna back me up on this.

God damn retards, BEING A CHRISTIAN DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN YOU CANNOT SUPPORT HOMOSEXUALITY. WHERE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT SAY CHRISTIANS CANNOT SUPPORT HOMOSEXUALITY

IT DOESN'T. ALL IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE IS THAT HOMOSEXUAL SEX IS FROWNED UPON, NOT THAT CHRISTIANS MUST BE AGAINST HOMOSEXUALITY OTHERWISE THEY'RE GOING TO HELL.

WOW, YOU'RE SUCH A FUCKING FANTASTIC PERSON! YOU TREAT HOMOSEXUALS THE SAME? HERE'S A MEDAL!

Depends how you interpret the bible....
I think Emy might be trying to disassociate herself from Christians who act like homosexuals have a catching disease. They exist....in great numbers. I was told I shouldnt talk to one of best friends cause she's gay. Thats rubbish imo.
Perhaps Emy wanted to put her opinion without getting loads of "Why do u hate gays' etc replies?

What part of the new testament condemns homosexuality again?

The old testament (which is interpreted as condeming homosexuality) is full of bright ideas:

Deuteronomy 22:28-29 If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.

Deuteronomy 22:23-24 If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.

Exodus 21:7-11 NLT When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are.

All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)

If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)
Well what I find confusing is that many new age Christians reject the old Testament, or 'pick' parts of it that are convenient.

Because with homosexuality, the old testament had a few bright ideas on a lot of things.

I'm pretty sure that in the New Testament there is nothing as severe as that in regards to homosexuality. Infact I think the only thing it says is that homosexual sex is a sin (but then again so is premarital sex and adultery)

Romans 1:27
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Anal secks is "working that which is unseemly"; an error St Paul says will be punished.
It's pretty clear-cut

Yes, so we have established that homosexual sex is frowned upon, but so is premarital sex and adultery.

Is it not entirely possible for one to be homosexual and accepted by the Church as long as they never have anal sex with another man?

I dont want to argue it friends
My ears just pricked when I saw claims that the NT is for the gays

Edit, KT: Yes, I think that's the Catholic (missionary?) position
